New build conveyancing is a complex area and differs from buying a traditional property. More often than not, the buyers are faced with the daunting prospect of committing to the purchase of a home before it is even built! Handling a New Build matter requires knowledge on the applicable laws surrounding plot purchases, planning permission and more.

Why are New Builds different to the usual conveyancing process?

• It is the sale/purchase of a ‘new property’;
• The developer will have a large number of sales progressing at the same time and may adopt a slightly different conveyancing process than normal;
• It is a sale of part. As the developer usually owns the whole site and will be disposing of it in lots.

With the right team in place, we can commit to the short time period for successfully exchanging contracts, which you will find many developers require. Failure to stick to the time restraints could result in the buyer losing their deposit and their desired home.

Many new-builds can be purchased with the addition of a Help-to-Buy Equity Loan and ISA, and at a discounted market value. These factors will also require additional processes and checks to be carried out by your advisor, it is therefore vital that your matter is in capable and experienced hands. To put your mind at ease, we have put in place a dedicated team to ensure the right skill set is matched with your requirements.

Let our specialist team handle the legal process for your new build home and ensure all processes are dealt with in a professional and expert manner.

We believe in transparent pricing for our services and expertise, and as such you are welcome to view our indicative conveyancing costs for the individual.
